FAQ

If you do not have any assets that are not exempt from seizure, such as your primary place of residence, household items, your car, and the tools of your trade, someone who has obtained a judgment against you may be unable to collect on it.

There is no particular limit to the number of liens that can be placed on a property. As long as a creditor has a valid claim to a debt and has either a statutory right (i.e. taxes) to place it or has obtained a judgment against a debtor, they can lien the property.

In Texas, a judgment lien can be attached to real estate only (such as a house or land).

A judgment is a general, involuntary, equitable lien on both real and personal property owned by the debtor.

55.081 Statute of limitations, lien of judgment. —Subject to the provisions of s. 55.10, no judgment, order, or decree of any court shall be a lien upon real or personal property within the state after the expiration of 20 years from the date of the entry of such judgment, order, or decree. History.

In Florida, a judgment lien has a limited lifespan of ten years from the date of its issuance by the court. ingly, the judgment creditor must renew the lien to keep the lien in effect beyond these ten years by filing a renewal affidavit with the Clerk of Court in the court responsible for the initial judgment.

If they are not timely renewed, they expire. In CA that is 10 years. However, when a judgment lien has been recorded against your property, it has no expiration date. This means that it is possible to no longer have a judgment against you, but still have a judgment lien on your property.

The lien is good for 10 years, but the creditor can renew the judgment before it expires for another 10 years, meaning the lien will survive for a maximum of 20 years. The good news is that because of Florida's homestead protections, a judgment lien cannot attach to homestead property.
